LUMINEX MAGPIX EA- EACH，APX1042，Affymetrix

The Luminex MAGPIX Instrument System is the simplest, most affordable, and most compact Luminex instrument. This image-based multiplexing unit performs up to 50 different tests in a single reaction volume and reads a 96-well-plate in just 60 minutes. The Luminex MAGPIX system is compatible with ProcartaPlex multiplex immunoassays and QuantiGene Plex multiplex gene expression assays.

Features of the Luminex MAGPIX system include:
• Multiplexing: up to 50 analytes per sample
• Dynamic range (typical): ≥ 3.5 logs
• Read time: 96-well plate in ≤ 60 min (up to 4,800 tests/hour)
• Daily start-up/shut-down: ≤ 15 min

Available options
Software: extra seat licenses, Basic Security Module, 21 CFR part 11 Module, Automation Module, LIS/LIMS Module
Service: service contracts, IQ/OQ

Luminex xMAP technology
The open architecture of Luminex xMAP technology uses imaging, microspheres, digital signal processing, and traditional chemistry—combining proven technologies in a unique way.

Advantages of Luminex xMAP technology include:
• Helps reduce costs and labor through multiplexing
• Smaller sample size requirements compared to single result assays
• Enables fast, reproducible results from favorable kinetics of liquid bead array approach
• Broad coverage of applications, including protein expression and gene expression profiling

How Luminex xMAP technology works
Sets of magnetic microspheres are color-coded with combinations of red and infrared fluorophores. Each bead set is coated with a reagent specific to a particular bioassay, allowing the capture and detection of several specific analytes from a single sample. Optics in the compact analyzer excite the internal dyes that identify each microsphere as well as any reporter dye captured, providing quantitation of individual analytes on each microsphere. The analyzer reads many beads from each set, enabling rapid and precise results for several targets within a single sample.
